Haha, very random! Actually it puts me in mind of something from Fried's most celebrated episode and score, Amok Time. Having finally completed my collection of the soundtrack reissues (yay!), I noticed something in Fried's score for Amok Time that I'd never noticed before. The bass guitar is the instrument that represents Spock as you said in your video for that episode, and what I noticed it, at the start of act 4, right before Kirk & Spock actually start fighting, in the music that sets the scene in preparation, there's a little flourish on the bass guitar that sends out the message, Spock is ready for this!
@@davidpage9355 hearing the soundtracks in isolation has been a real eye-opener in how much new stuff I've learned about the music. I've wanted to have this music on CD for over 25yrs, and now I do have it all, it feels weird! (Plus it enabled me to finally identify what all the tracked credits should have been!)
The thing about Moody Blues "Day of Future Past" is that all the orchestral recordings were reported missing. Maybe you can do a review on that album and it's orchestral pieces. Just a suggestion.
When I was just getting to know my scoring platform (MuseScore) back in 2020, at the height of the COVID pandemic when many of us had a lot of time on our hands, I took on scoring "Nights In White Satin" just because I love it, and the richness of the orchestration. That was a significant set of lessons on both how to use the technology, and how to listen and transcribe music. I wasn't aware those original recordings were missing. Interesting. I might take a look at NIWS again.. that was four years ago. I think I've improved since then!
@@davidpage9355 That is interesting. Well I hope you can lead the way maybe to find out what happened to those tracks. They were composed by (I think) Howard Blake who went on to do Flash Gordon's incidental music from that 1980's movie.
They probably didn't want to over-use it, so it saw limited screen time. When Spock "accompanies" Uhura singing "Where My Heart Is", the audio track has Hammond organ swelling in behind the actual harp part. Just as you're saying, there's more than just a harp/lyre to that instrument. And it's well beyond MIDI too, I would guess..
Hahaha, that's adorable!
All of a sudden Spock starts singing Nights in White Satin.
“Sub space messages I’ve written….never meaning to send…”
@@historybuff66 LOL!
Ha ha! Good one.
Spock & McCoy arguing, now that is what I call Moody Blues!
@@dressinggownsessions7296 which leads to the ultimate slice with Spock saying: "Tell Doctor McCoy, he should have wished me luck."
Haha, very random!

Fried wouldn't miss a detail like that!

That was the thing about that instrument. I always thought it was capable of more than a harp sound. It's like a synthesizer.

That was great except for the end. Wrong clef symbol.
😄 Dohh!
Brahahahahaha
No way Spock plays a 6-string solid body bass. He's more of a 4-string Höfner Violin Bass kind of guy.
Ehh, maybe so. Mid-60's and McCartney on the rise!
